Rapid Response Team Activated to Assist Eli Lilly Employees
INDIANAPOLIS (January 9, 2017)
- The Indiana Department of Workforce
Development (DWD) and its community partner, EmployIndy, have activated the state’s Rapid Response team to assist employees
in the Integrated Health Partners (IHP) / Cardiovascular Account Specialist
(CAS) organization within Lilly's U.S. Bio-Medicines Business Unit. Eli Lilly &
Company is ceasing its IHP/CAS field-based operations, which is comprised of 485
employees who work from their homes in different states. Less than 75 of these employees
are based in Indiana.
The state’s Rapid Response team is
activated when a significant layoff or plant closure occurs and pairs
knowledgeable WorkOne staff with displaced employees to move them toward a plan
for re-employment as soon as possible. Activities focus on connecting displaced
employees with local employment opportunities as well as providing resume
assistance, interview workshops and skills assessments.
The time and location of the first
Rapid Response session will be announced in the near future. For more
information, please email Lilly@EmployIndy.org.
